On the periodic table, electronegativity increases as we move from the bottom to the top. what information does this give us?
bromine is more likely than chlorine to form a chemical bond.
hydrogen and neon are equally likely to form a chemical bond
fluorine is more likely than chlorine to form a chemical bond.
lithium and hydrogen are equally likely to form a chemical bond

The correct option is C. Fluorine is more likely than chlorine to form a chemical bond.

Explanation:

In chemistry, electronegativity can be best described as the tendency for an atom in a substance to take a pair of electrons.

As we go down in a group, the electronegativity decreases because the electron which  has to accept the electron pair gets more and more distant from the nucleus and hence, has less attraction from the nucleus.

In chlorine, as the electron which has to accept the electron pair is farther from the nucleus as compared to the atom of fluorine, hence it will have less electronegativity than bromine.
